two years after the release of his acclaimed debut ep on i m a cliche, jakarta s best kept secret is back on cosmo vitelli s imprint with four terrific original tracks. jonathan kusuma is a producer who has managed in the space of a few releases and remixes to develop a signature sound which mostly relies on taking disco and ebm elements and putting them in new and unexpected contexts, offering us a glimpse of what modern dance music would sound like if house and techno had never existed. narcotic, hedonistic, abstract and particularly efficient on the dancefloor, kusuma s music is always about quality and never about quantity and so we are particularly thrilled to share with the world the four new tracks that constitute this ep.

invisible, inc now brings the aptly named spacerocks into the fold with the release of a 6- track ep that comes storming in from the outer reaches of a galaxy light years away (or just decades past?) into the earpiece of your unwashed spacesuit. it s hard to pinpoint what genre this actually fits into but if you imagine vapourspace s gravitational arch of 10 as interpreted by vangelis with drum programming by nitzer ebb you d be getting reasonably close. other influences may well include cluster, conrad schnitzler, chris & cosey to name a few, while comparisons can be made to contemporaries like solyst, musiccargo, barnt and secret circuit. spacerocks is a solo offshoot project from higamos hogamos main man steve webster (also fort lauderdale, the black neon, memphis industries, dc recordings). the project sees steve ditch his band and strip things down to his modular, vintage and custom-built synthesizer set up alongside equally rare and vintage analogue drum machines, sequencers and fx units.
